Phoebe: But what about Ross? What about your moment? Don’t you want to talk to Ross about it?
Rachel: No, no, ‘cos I know exactly how the conversation is going to go. “Hey Ross”, “You know, I think that we had a moment before” [As Ross] “Yeah, um, me too” [As herself] “Well, but I’m not sure I really wanna do anything about it!” [As Ross] “Yeah, um, me, um, neither.” [As herself] “Ross, should we just continue to live together and not really tell each other how we’re really feeling?” [As Ross] “Yeah, that works for me, um, um.”
Phoebe: Yeah, I see what you mean. By the way, nice Ross imitation. But your Rachel was not whiny enough.

Rachel: The point is: maybe I should stop waiting around, waiting for moments with Ross. I should just move on with my life.


Every once in a while, you stumble across a piece of good advice in the most unexpected of all places. Like Friends.

And I was so dumbstruck when I got it. Even if I think I have a moment every once in a while with someone [leaving aside how only I might perceive it as a moment], is that enough? At some point it won't cut it anymore. Yeah we can have moments, we can have moments every once a week, twice a week, but as long as we don't get past them and to the next step, whatever that may be, then maybe I should stop whatever and move on with my life just like Rachel says.
